Check Engine Light On problems of the 2002 Toyota Camry

Took the car to good year change a bunch of parts. Aftet that took the car to get the oil changed. On the 01/27/2016 check engine light is now on the the vehicle. I sent you are report last week as well. I need your intervention. Please stop Toyota from ripping consumer off. It now states that the gas cap is off and or loose. This is not the case.

The is a service bulletin regarding the replacement of the catalytic converter and reprogramming the ecu. I don't think Toyota notifies current owners of free work to be done that is not an actual recall. Instead they wait to see who finds out on their own. The service bulletin TSB 2404 dated 07-01-04 covers the replacement of the catalytic converter and reprogramming the ecu to resolve the problem. It mentions the smell of sulfur from the exhaust and was apparently the only reason most people had it checked out. My wife's car has had the smell of sulfur for a few years now, but since we don't make it a habit of making our car exhaust smell pleasant we never thought anything of it. Now, the check engine light is on and the catalytic converter needs to be replaced but her car is over the 8 year, 80,000 mile limit of the TSB. If we were notified of Toyota's design error earlier and had the catalytic converter replaced and the ecu reprogrammed for free, we would not be looking at a $1000 repair bill in our future. We should not have to pay for Toyota's error, we already paid for the car.

The contact owns a 2002 Toyota Camry. While driving at any speed, the contact stated that the vehicle would suddenly stall intermittently, then the check engine warning light illuminated. The dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. The contact did not inform the manufacturer of the failure since he knew that there were no related recalls. No repairs were performed. The current and failure mileage was 50,000.

About 2 months ago I started experiencing a jerking of my car at about 40 mph. My car is a 2002 Camry xle v6. I took it to the dealership and had two tech's ride with me and they experienced the jerking but couldn't determine what it was. Now the jerking is getting worse and is happening at all speeds. I have about 111000 miles on the car presently. I have had a few times where I thought the car was going to stop completely in the middle of traffic. I called Toyota's national office to make sure my dealership hadn't missed a recall or service bulletin and the national office said there wasn't a recall or service bulletin. However, I have found many similar complaints on the internet. The national office offered to call my dealership, which they did, I don't know what they'll do for me since last time they told me until a check engine light comes on they can't do anything. I have never had a check engine light come on.

We have a 2002 Toyota Camry with a 2. 4 liter engine with a 38, 900 miles in the odometer. And on March 4, 2010 my wife came home from a the grocery store asked me to check the car because of the check engine light iis on. I drove the car for a test drive around our neighborhood for five minutes with the speed of 10 miles to 15 miles an hour. Before I came to the stop sign, the engine start racing, rpm is up the red line, I could hear the engine roar. I step on the brake hard, shift the gear hard into park and turn off the ignition. I was so lucky, I was driving in the right place and the right time with no traffic and kids playing on the street. If my wife would be driving at that moment especially she is an elderly like me, it could be big accident. It's a terrifying experience. I suggest that 2002 Camry should be included in the recall. Before somebody gets hurt. That same day I called Toyota dealership for service appointment.

2002 Camry xle v6. . . At 138,000 miles while waiting at a traffic signal during rush hour the engine stalls and after 4 attempts finally restarts. The car continued to not idle the rest of my trip home - stalling every time I slowed down to stop or turn a corner. . . Very unsafe. . . Didn't trust the car to make it to mechanic. Car was towed, mechanic could find nothing wrong. It happened again 3 more times within a week. Same scenario, towed to mechanic, found nothing wrong because the check engine light does not come on and therefore the computer does not register any issues. Mechanic cleaned all sensors, idle valve, dealership and independent mechanic find nothing wrong. Car was fine until July 4, weekend and did the same thing twice again. Mechanic finds nothing because it so random. Same situation in November while turning car stalled because it would not idle, lost power steering and brakes and almost hit another car while turning. 3 mechanics and no one can find anything wrong. Have also experienced the issues mentioned with brakes and rotors which have been replaced 3 times.

At subzero temperature (below 0) car starts with check engine light on (error code p1128), traction control and vsc disabled. Idle at 600-800 rpm. Engine does not respond to acceleration pedal, so car is not drivable. After warming engine up and erasing error code from ecu car drives normally.

The contact owns a 2002 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. She stated that there was a faulty charcoal canister that needed to be replaced. The current and failure mileages were 82,630. Updated 07/15/08 updated 07/15/08.

I was coming home one day and my check engine light came on. I immediately took my car to the dealer and they told me it was the O2 sensor going bad. I wanted a second opinion so I took my car to another dealer who told me it was the catalytic converter. I was very concern by these two different answers, so I went to a third dealer who told me it was indeed the O2 sensor. After having that replaced, within 2 months the light was back on again.

While driving check engine light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. Consumer drove vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the sensor needed to be replaced.

While traveling on the highway and without prior warning engine check light appeared on the dashboard.

At 1,500 miles the check engine light went on. I brought the car to the dealer on November 8, 2002 and was told that nothing was wrong with the car and they reset the computer. The car was fine until I arrived at home and the check engine light was on again. I brought the car to the dealer on November 11th and they said they didn't know what was wrong with the car. They were going to remove the transmission but needed a part. It is now November 25th and the part still hasn't arrived and the car hasn't been repaired.

My 2002 Toyota Camry v6 xle has had a problem with stuttering as though the transmission, engine or computer is not working properly. Four different Toyota dealerships have looked at the car and their only statement is that if the engine light doesn't come on, they can't diagnose the problem. A now independent, former Toyota mechanic did observe the problem and can't diagnose the problem with a computer. I was treated with arrogant denial by customer service at Toyota and they blackmarked me on their system-wide computer history. I did learn that one problem was a recall publication 3 months before I bought my car that said the computer needed reprogrammed. None of these dealerships knew this and Toyota's "roman" in customer service denied me any reimbursement about the reprogramming even though I was complaining about the engine stuttering or missing since about one month after new purchase to the present. This is the company denial and arrogance that the congress and investigators are coming up against. Toyota just won't accept that there is a problem with my car that has persisted since a month after November 2002 purchase. Now I get emails calling me "friend" from them wanting my business and service. I just want my car to run correctly and fear that my transmission, engine or computer program is a forerunner of the problems coming to light lately before congress.
